    Masthead

    The mast head is the NME logo which appears on every


    magazine. Its bold and stands out clearly as it is always found
    in the same place which makes it easily recognisable to the
    audience. The font is bold and quite formal which shows that
    it is aimed at a late teen/adult age range. The colour red is a
    neutral colour which appeal to both genders and so it is a
    multi-gender magazine.

    Main image
    The main image is of the lead singer of Oasis which is what is
    featuring in the magazine. The model looks very casual
    holding a cup of tea and a plate, this is portraying a relaxed
    feeling within the magazine and to the audience. His direct
    gaze with the audience draws them in as we automatically
    meet eye to eye, this is found on a lot of magazines. His
    bright white shirt contrasts with the red background again
    making him stand out from everything else.

    Buzz/Puff words
    The buzzword on this magazine is letting us know of the
    opportunity to win signed oasis artwork. We know this will
    appeal to buyers of this magazine as they are obviously
    interested in oasis due to the front cover.
    Design
    This magazine has used both serif font and a sans
    serif font.
    The model on the front covers name and the pull
    quote is in serif font along with the archive special
    about John Lennon This makes the magazine look a
    little bit more formal and it also makes the text stand
    out more which is good because it is clear to the
    audience who the model is and also allows us to see
    that there will be a double page spread within the
    magazine about the model and his band.
    However the Masthead and sub-headings are Sans
    serif which makes it look formal.
    Most of the text is in capital letters including the
    masthead, demonstrating that all of the magazines
    content is important.
    Colour
    The colours in this magazine are mainly red, yellow and
    blue which are colours that would appeal to both
    genders. They are bright, bold and eye-catching which
    immediately attracts the audience. The colour red
    represents danger and love, which fits in with this
    magazine as its a magazine mainly aimed at rock music
    which some people may perceive as dangerous.
    Size of the text
    The size of the text is quite large which
    means that the audience would be able to
    read the main parts e.g Masthead from a
    distance which makes the magazine easily
    recognisable which draws the audience in
    from a distance.
    However the cover story is a larger font
    than the Masthead which isnt something
    you would typically see on a magazine but
    the producers obviously feel that their
    audience is committed enough to know the
    Masthead off by heart.
    Overall Impression
    I really like this magazine front ocver as I think its
    clear for the audience to see what is inside the
    magazine which os one of the main things that attracts
    a buyer as they want to make sure its value for
    money.
    Due to the model being in his 40s in an old band I
    would say that this magazines main audience would be
    adults rather than children, a child wouldnt want to
    know about gigs and/or concerts typically.
    I feel like this magazine wouldnt appeal to children as
    the text is quite formal and we can tell by the front
    cover that there is going to be a lot of text inside
    whereas a child would want to see more pictures.
